I was just curious if there's anything besides cosmetic doo-dad's that make it the "NHRA" package. I know the WS6, Formula, and Firehawk packages. Is it kinda like anniversery edition or bandit edition type thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Reason being, I'm looking at one right now in New York. It's on ebay.

you get upgraded tires, AL driveshaft, 3.23 rear gear for auto, 3.43 for stick shift, polished rims (crome), steering oil cooler and the cosmetic shit along with a key chain.

Hell no. That whole NHRA package wasn't more than $1,000 if my memory serves me correct. The milaege is low but I say $14,500 tops.

-meNon WS6/SS cars that had 2:73 gears (autos) got a steel drive shaft.

Those tires were a no cost option, not sure on the 3.23/aluminum drive shaft but 3.43/aluminum ds was standard.

So essentially, the only thing the NHRA option forced you to have was the optional 3.23 (A4) rear gear. The AL driveshaft was part of that option (all 3.23-geared A4 cars have AL shaft), and ALL M6 cars get the 3.43 gear w/ AL shaft. Polished chrome rims w/ upgraded tires and steering cooler (by then) was optional otherwise as well. So above the cost of those options (3.23, rims/tires, cooler) seperately, what did that NHRA decal cost?

Yeah, I know, it was the only thing actually unique (couldn't get any other way than w/ the NHRA option) in the "NHRA package". Everything else in the package was available seperately as individual options (i.e: NOT unique to the NHRA package). So my question is, did the NHRA "package price" cost more or less than those included options priced seperately? If it cost less, then the package was a good deal and you got the decal thrown in for no extra cost. If it cost more, then that decal ended up costing you....... how much?

Just curious because I haven't looked at option prices lately.

I guess this isn't the car for me than, because I'm going to be modifying/replacing some of the components that make it the "NHRA" package. I do like the decals though. I guess it was done by Pontiac in hopes of creating a collectors car? Reguardless thank you everyone for your input. :D
